    A Global Perspective on Cities of the Future: Focus on China created by Cholehna J. Weaver 2015 Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Program Participant, China INTRODUCTION: Population growth is central to many of the environmental, social, and political issues we face today. One of the primary objectives of the Social Studies teacher is to educate students on the impact of human numbers and lifestyles on the surrounding world to ensure that we leave a sustainable future for generations to come. As students examine population changes and their effects on resources, population education is relevant and cross-curricular. China’s rapidly growing and urbanizing population provides a relevant and dynamic case to study in the classroom. As China and the United States have embarked on a joint commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the urgency and immediacy of the implementation of more sustainable measures is apparent. While much of the focus on carbon emissions is centered on big businesses and energy consumption, much of the human use of resources in the future will occur in densely populated regions and cities. The planning and construction of cities will determine the future of how individuals use natural resources and impact environmental quality within an urban context. This series of lessons presents the broad challenges associated with global urbanization, examines the existing challenges in China as it shifts to a majority urban population, and analyzes possible steps and plans to achieving a more sustainable urban environment as new cities are established in China and around the world. The lesson is broken into three sections beginning with an examination of population growth as it relates to urbanization, challenges associated with crowded cities, and an examination of new technologies being rolled out around the world aimed at producing a more sustainable city model.

    Final Programme Creating Healthy Cities for All: Designing for Equity and Resilience

    15-16 OCTOBER 2018 ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS, LONDON FINAL PROGRAMME CREATING HEALTHY CITIES FOR ALL: DESIGNING FOR EQUITY AND RESILIENCE W: www.healthycitydesign.global | E: [email protected] Organised by: In collaboration with Event partners Academic journal partner Silver partners Media partner Knowledge partners FOREWORD Dear colleagues, In less than 200 years, the proportion of the world’s population living in cities has grown from 5 per cent to more than half. As our planet urbanises, how do we promote sustainable development, wellbeing and inclusive growth in creating cities and communities that are resilient, equitable and fair to all? In their planning and design, cities have made undeniable progress in advancing the health of their citizens over the past 60 years. Within cities, however, health inequalities exist, and these are largely based on broader social inequalities. Cities have become polarised between rich and poor, public and private, engaged and excluded. At the same time, unparalleled socio-economic progress and population growth have created patterns of highly inequitable, inefficient and unsustainable resource consumption, which are taking a heavy toll on the Earth’s natural systems. The result is substantial health impacts, including reduction of food security and nutrition, loss of freshwater resources, higher exposure to communicable and non-communicable diseases, and loss of life from extreme weather events.1 Creating cities that are fairer and less divisive places in relation to health outcomes depends on how resilient they are in their design and planning. Resilience can manifest in emerging infrastructures that promote flexible working practices or more active modes of transport, or in access to fresh, locally produced food.
